** Offer deadline of Monday, August 3rd at 9 am! ** Charming, spacious, sun-drenched, character-filled Oak Park home beckons! The welcoming front porch invites you into the foyer, where you can pause to appreciate the gleaming hardwood floors, original woodwork, art glass, high ceilings, and tall, bright windows. Gather with loved ones in the oversized living room, featuring a stunning stone woodburning fireplace, Prairie-inspired woodwork details, and an entire wall of west-facing windows, boasting plenty of space for multiple conversation areas--perfect for entertaining or for cozy nights in. Easily host your largest holiday parties in the adjacent, spacious dining room with a wall of southern-exposure windows and more lovely woodworking. Creating your feasts and everyday meals is a delight in the vintage kitchen that's been freshened up for today's needs with beautiful new quartz countertops; all stainless appliances; new, deep undermount sink; new faucet; freshly painted cabinetry and hardware, and a smart floorplan for easy workflow. The kitchen leads to a large, sunny, newly-carpeted, premium first-floor family room addition--ideal for modern living and where everyone will cluster for movie or game nights. And with three walls of windows that overlook the charming backyard, it will be a year-round, all-day, sunny hangout! Rounding out this spacious main level is a roomy, practical mudroom off the back door; a convenient water closet that's perfect for guests and everyday living; and a large entry closet. When you're ready to retire, head upstairs to find three generous bedrooms. The massive primary easily fits a king bed with space to spare. (And with its vast floorplan, is primed for an affordable primary en-suite bath if needed!) The second bedroom is nearly as large and just as bright as the primary, with a serene tree-house feel, and the third bedroom is also a delightful size, with both bedrooms also boasting spacious closets and tall, bright windows. The hallway bath is retro-cool, squeaky clean, and spacious, and a large hallway linen closet provides additional storage and completes this level. For even more room to roam, head to the high and dry lower level where you'll find another full bathroom, laundry room, and storage, plus loads of space and potential for an office, playroom, exercise room, or guest space. An overhead sewer and ejector pit keep the basement dry and offer peace of mind. Al-fresco, you'll find even more to love with a spacious backyard, patio, and two-car garage, with potential to easily convert the patio to an outdoor parking space if needed! Many updates in the home along with the beautiful, original charm - fresh paint throughout; new light fixtures; new quartz countertops, sink, faucet, hardware; new carpet; new fans; new porch steps and treads; efficient newer window units ('24); updated electrical to code ('23); added shut-off valves throughout ('23); and more. All this in a fantastic Oak Park location on a quiet, friendly block with 2 block parties a year, that's close to all that this village offers - schools, parks, tennis, library, shopping, coffee, bagels, restaurants, public transportation, and so much more! This is the one you've been waiting for--welcome home!
